  Review by Patrick Willems ★★★★ 10

  Everyone quotes "You can't handle the truth!" but a minute later Jack Nicholson screams, "I'm gonna rip the eyes out of your head and piss into your dead skull!" and it's just as good

  Judge Randolph: "You don't have to answer that question!"

  Col. Nathan R. Jessup: "I'll answer the question. You want answers?"

  Kaffee: "I think I'm entitled to it!"

  Jessup: "You want answers?!"

  Review by Will Menaker ★★½ 6

  Nicholson's "You want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!" is even funnier in retrospect considering this movie was made in 1992 and he's talking about protecting American lives from Cuba. Actually, we don't need you.

  This is probably Sorkin's least nauseating project, but it still bears his unmistakable touch.
